This is TRUE

Strike is a way of representing the 3D orientation of a planar surface on a 2D map. Fault can be characterized by brittle deformation in rocks. These faults can be oriented at any direction (Strike). Shear stresses can produce faults where movement can occur in strike direction.



Answer:

The statement that says 'on a geologic map, strike represents the directional orientation of a fault' is false.

Explanation:

  • If it is considered that the given geologic map is of a horizontal plane, then the 'direction of the rock' present on this horizontal plane would be represented by a strike on the given geologic map.
  • To represent a fault on the 'geologic map', the symbol of a thick line inclined towards the right is used.
